STUDENT ACCOMMODATION CENTER

Students with disabilities are provided comprehensive support and accommodations at Lakeland Community College. Students are encouraged to meet with counselors as early as possible in the enrollment process to discuss and coordinate identified accommodations.

Our Mission

To remain in compliance with applicable laws and to offer students with documented disabilities reasonable accommodations which provide access to all of Lakeland's programs, classes and activities. Each accommodation is tailored to meet the needs of the individual student. The Student Accommodation Center recognizes each student's right to be treated with dignity and respect and encourages students to move toward increasing independence and responsibility in their academic life.
